Yahoo's hack day
Yahoo held an event call "hack day" which sounds very much like an Indie Game Jam on steroids, for developers to come in and build mashup apps over a 24 hour period. 54 apps were submitted by 500 developers.
As Guy Kawasaki points out: It's a brilliant marketing effort. It's a brilliant incubation event. It's probably got some benefit for HR too.
One thing he didn't point out, but that TechCrunch does: Of the 54 prototypes delivered, the winner, called "Blogging in Motion" was developed by an all-girl team!
Way to buck the statistics and stereotypes, ladies!

Nintendo's mistake is the high price of the second controller, which is expected to cost around (controller + nunchuk. That's around the of the console itself, and more than the cost of buying another game.
